Search Engine Market Share - US

What share of visitors are held by each of the major search engines - Google, Yahoo, MSN Live and Ask?

At the start of 2009 the approximate search engine market share in the US was as follows:

Google - 72%
Yahoo! - 18%
MSN Live - 5.5%
Ask - 3.5%

You may note that the above account for around 99% of total searches. This is because several smaller search engines gain their results via partnerships with the four above. For example, AOL gain their SERPs via Google listings.
